Wandle Park was filled with colour, music and dance on Sunday (July 15) for the second annual ZEE International Mela.

Around 12,000 people turned up to the park from 1pm, as the event brought together international acts, local artists, family fun and the flavours from the Tastes of Asia food market.

Headline acts included British singer-songwriter Arjun performing alongside London Mozart Players with orchestrations by Fiona Brice, YouTube hit Zack Knight, as well as rising star EZU from South London.

The younger crowd might have been drawn to the main stage but there was a huge age range of visitors overall.
